Question
- What are the evidence-based guidelines associated with the provision of diabetic diets for frail elderly long-term care residents with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Key Message
Recommendations based on low quality evidence suggest that regular diets, instead of diabetic diets, may be used for elderly nursing home residents with type 2 diabetes. For frail diabetic older people, diets rich in protein and energy may be used to prevent malnutrition.
